i mean, people love him. but it s bigger than him. it s bigger than him. and also, as you said earlier, it matters how many votes ahead they are when it comes to the senate. if it s even steven, then the committees are even steven, if they re ahead by one, the committee structures change and it helps democrats as well. abby, what does it say that president trump is not campaigning with walker in the final daying and it s lindsey graham out there tonight. it says really everything. i think the biggest problem that herschel walker has is there are a lot of georgia voters who are not particularly comfortable with former president trump. they do not think that trump represents them. those are the voters, almost 200,000 of them who voted for the republican incumbent governor brian kemp and did not vote for herschel walker. so they ve got to really deal with that by keeping trump out of the picture. and i ll say this. trump has spent so much time telling voters basically not the
yeah, south carolina is where biden won. new hampshire is where biden lost by a lot. and they are upset tonight because they would lose their first in the nation primary status. but if you re biden, you re saying to yourself i won the nomination and the presidency without winning new hampshire, really skipping the state of new hampshire. and i think that that is what is kind of playing out partly in this order here. they want the states to represent not just the demographics, but also the politics of the democratic party. working class voters and black and brown voters, and also slightly more conservative voters in the south as well, anderson, abby phillip and van jones, thanks. we got a surprise last week when we learned about a friend olena gnes who we have spoken to for the last nine months about living through the war in ukraine is now in the united states with her family. i ll talk to her about the war and her family s battles here.
and they believe they re to see another 200,000 plus cast just today, anderson. dianne gallagher, appreciate it. joining us political commentator, former special adviser to president obama van jones. and inside politics anchor abby phillip. you look at the contrast between the two campaigns, even these duelling events tonight. what does it say to you about the strategies of each team? yeah, i think it tells you a lot about where the expectations are for both sides. democrats are really hitting the gas on turnout, bringing in their biggest turnout getter, former president obama. and republicans are really trying to keep herschel walker out of sight and perhaps out of mind for some voters who are not super comfortable with him and the things that he s had to say. i will also say the money tells a huge part of the story. you know, there has been a huge democratic advantage in ad spending in georgia over the republicans. and i think that that says a lot about that the optimism that i
carolina should go first, south carolina is where he won first. and so he s giving them a big, big hug and a kiss. but i think it makes sense given who the party is. michigan, georgia, nevada, these are states that reflect more of the base of this party. in south carolina, obviously. abby, you broke this story. this would represent a big change in the nominating process. yeah, it represents really a huge change, and one that a lot of democrats wanted. and for all the reasons that van described, i think biden putting his thumb on the scale in this way, laying out a system that put south carolina first and followed by nevada, a heavily latino state really tells you everything you need know about what is going on here. he says very clearly in a letter to the dnc tonight that the party should never nominate someone who does not have the overwhelming support of black and brown democrats. and that is what this order really represents. one note about new hampshire.
reporter: breaking ranks here at the moment and confident when this nominee comes down, they ll get the votes to happen. no defections in the ranks and one key democratic swing vote manchin seems to be on board with the process so far. so far, thank you so much. let s get to this and more. joining me is chief political analyst gloria borger. cnn anchor abby phillip. let s get to it in a second, because i want to start about the inner circle that the trump aides drafted two versions of an executive order to seize these voting machines after he lost the new york times reporting, directed rudy giuliani and trump was the one to direct him to call homeland security about seizing voting machining. let me play what the former attorney general alberto gonzalez said about this today. do you think perhaps something legally incriminating about this information? could be, yes, obviously
